Preparation of the reform cake:
First separate the yolk from the white. Put the yolks, sugar and other ingredients for the cream, except chocolate, in an ovenproof dish. Give them a quick stir and set the bowl over the pot of water. Whisk everything with a whisk and stir until the mixture thickens (pudding density approx.). Finally, add the melted chocolate to the cream and leave to cool. Let’s start making waffles. Beat egg white and sugar until stiff. Add walnuts and starch to the snow.

Wrap the cake ring in parchment paper and place one-fifth of the dough on top. If we have more rings, we can bake two waffles at the same time. Smooth out the dough, press flat (easiest with a dough card) and place in the oven at 180 degrees for about 10 minutes so that it browns nicely. So bake 5 waffles and let them cool down. Remove from the rings after cooling.
